Weekend Zzzs & another Snatch PR




Saturday May 9, 2009 Sleep: 9 glorious hours
Did the warm-up with the class which included 9 consecutive deadhang movements.
Played around with a little tumbling but other than that rest, rest, rest.

Sunday May 10, 2009 Sleep: 8hrs
Active Rest Day with a two hour hike (see pics) with friends who were in town from NY. The hike wasn't challenging but I was exhausted before we started. Goal of the week...lots o' sleep

No pull-ups it seems I am a day ahead anyhow.

Monday May 11, 2009 Sleep: 7.5hrs no nap
Hitting a bunch of drills to include double and single leg broad jumps as well as some bounding today to demo the warm-up for 3 classes.
10 (6,4) pull-ups in a.m. and a couple sets of 10-15 push-ups and squats
Strength/skill work: 8pm
Snatch 1-1-1-1-1-1-1
45lbs, 65, 75, 79, 84F, 84F, 84F, 82.5F(used the 15kg bar with 10kg bumpers and 2 1/4lb plates), 82.5F, 82.5!! PR(Laura even caught it on video below.), 84F, 84F enough.
Although it may appear that this session would be quite frustrating recording all those failed attempts, but they were solid attempts. I kept getting it over head but unable to stand up with it. Until FINALLY I did. When I did these a week ago Sunday I couldn't even get 84 to my eyes (mostly because I'm a headcase and knew how much was on the bar). Now, I'm close to standing up with 84. Triple digits in the snatch before the year is out! It was a solid session. I was mentally in a MUCH better place than last week.
